Nine months ago, my phone rang and it was Gabby’s mom. ”I’m having a baby!” she blurted out, sounding both terrified and excited at the same time. I squealed in delight and we chatted for hours about how we would raise our kids together, what being a new mom is like, how strange (but amazing) pregnancy is, on and on until we reluctantly hung up. I’ve known Gabby’s mom nearly twenty years, and though we have taken different paths, and at times our lives have drifted apart, somehow we always manage to wind up reconnected. Our lives are simply meant to be intertwined, and no matter what happens she has always and will always be one of my best friends.
So technically, that makes Gabby my honorary niece, but apparently she didn’t get the memo that you should be nice to your Aunt Crista so that she’ll spoil you rotten when you get older. Despite what you see here, Gabby might be my little diva. She was a feisty one, but she is so stinkin’ cute, it was all worth it!
Congratulations Bill and Kim! Tons of love from our home to yours.
